Commendable as having a new atmosphere

Real sarcasm is not common in pictures and this offering is commendable as having a new atmosphere. It is not intended to convince except just enough to make the spectator gasp at the gall of an English cockscomb of an elder son, who marries a rough woman of the Canadian woods, a trapper's daughter, and sends her home to the castle to spite his parents and the class of society he belongs to. He had been jilted and thought that his parents had played a part against him. Sir Gilbert Parker is the author and it was produced by Walter Edwin. Mary Fuller plays the savage young woman to Richard Tucker's aristocratic young man. Gertrude McCoy, Betty Emerson, Richard Ridgley, Barry O'Moore, Bigelow Cooper and Mrs. Wallace Erskine are aristocrats an England. Robert Brower plays the trapper. The sets are commendable and the photography is clear. - The Moving Picture World, June 7, 1913
